Canzone Contro La Paura

I write songs that are not very intelligent
That you understand immediately as soon as you hear them
Songs good for going to the beach on Sundays
Songs good to eat
They are songs that are not very irreverent
In short, songs like me who have lost all my teeth
Songs for those who don't feel like barking or growling
Songs just for singing

Songs that talk about love
Because in the end, come on, what else do you want to talk about?
That if you look around there's nothing to sing about
Just a big emptiness that hurts to look at
So I'll be superficial
But in the midst of this pain
All this resentment
I sing only for myself

My not very intelligent songs
That wake you up in the morning and you brush your teeth with them
Songs for those who don't feel like thinking or listening
Songs to forget
They are songs that are not very consistent
In short, songs like me who don't reason anymore
Who only want sensations, only feelings
And a cup of coffee

Songs that talk about love
Because in the end, come on, what else do you want to talk about?
That if you look around there's not much to sing about
Just a sadness that is hard to touch
So I'll be superficial
But in the midst of this pain
And in all this noise
I sing of a world that doesn't exist

But no, you want exciting songs
That grab you by the throat without many compliments
Songs like slaps in the face to make you think
Beautiful songs to feel bad
Those songs to sing at the top of your lungs
As if five thousand voices became one
Songs that I still love even if it's sad, even if it's hard
Songs against fear

Songs that save your life
That make you say: No, damn, it's not over yet!
That give you the strength to start over
That keep you standing when you feel like collapsing

But doesn't it seem like a miracle
That in the midst of this pain
And all this noise
Sometimes just a song is enough
Even a stupid song
Just a stupid song
To remind you who you are
To remind you who you are

But doesn't it seem like a miracle
That in the midst of this pain
And all this noise
Sometimes just a song is enough
Even a stupid song
Just a stupid song
To remind you who you are
